Empty Bloodweb Node

breakingpointes · February 5

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Unclaimable bloodweb node disables autobloodweb, continuous bloodweb claim sound upon claim of the blank node by the entity and this node continues to appear in subsequent bloodweb levels.

PLATFORM: PC

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:

After manually bloodwebbing a level, a new node that could not be claimed was created. When trying to autobloodweb with this node active, autobloodwebbing failed, the only button that successfully worked was going to the archives, there was no way to switch back to the main lobby and each subsequent bloodweb level had this same unclickable node. There was no way to return to the lobby but switching characters worked. Going to the in game shop also would work but would not bring you back to the main menu.

Once this unclickable node was claimed, the game would continue to play the "node claimed" noise, and the only way to continue bloodwebbing was to quit the game and restart.

The previous level (The Dark Lord Level 34) was completed Feb 3rd after 9:05 CT. This level (Level 35) was completed Feb 5th at 5:35 CT. The next level (Level 36) was completed after 2 game restarts around 5:37 CT. Current game patch is 8.5.1 and game was updated Feb 4th at 7:30 CT.

After this, no further bloodwebbing was done to determine if this was persistent across characters or limited to the Dark Lord.

My dracula has this as well. No amount of restarting, verifying integrity or reinstalling will remove that broken node. Auto bloodweb button freezes the page so you are forced to click anothet like loadout, but other individual items on the bloodweb can be chosen, only that node entirely locks off bloodweb progression permanently.
